About this resource
Letter R Playdough Mats These playdough mats allow Pre-school and Foundation students to build fine motor skills while learning about the letter R. Each of the 5 mats features a picture of a word that starts with R, like rake, rainbow, rain, rocket, and ring. As students mould playdough to match the images, they will practise beginning letter sounds, letter recognition, colour matching, and fine motor control. Teachers can implement this versatile activity in literacy centres, playdough stations, morning tubs, and small groups. Since the mats are no-prep, they can easily be paired with playdough for independent practice. Consider laminating the pages to create a reusable, mess-free activity. Skills practised include early phonics, letter ID, fine motor strength, and visual discrimination. This engaging resource promotes active learning while assessing multiple key Foundation readiness skills.
